Week 70: Where Love Is

Dear Friends and Family,

          Sorry today is a crazy day so...bear with me...I have to register for school, so my letter will be short.

Last week was pretty awesome.  We carved pumpkins, went to the local famous burger place called "XXX Burgers," taught the activity day girls about manners and had a Halloween party as we planned our week. I also went on exchanges to Cougar Mountain and guess what?  There is a man there who was just baptized and he totally remembered me.  I knocked on his door this spring and he was friendly, but he told me and Hna. Oliphant that he wasn't interested at that time.  But miracles happened and he was baptized!

            This week we were in the middle of a member meal when the power when out.  Haha.  Luckily we had our lantern.  It was pretty hilarious.  We were also able to give out a Book of Mormon while we were filling up our car with gas.  And last but not least, there was a Spanish fireside that I was blessed enough to go to!  I sang "Getsemani," a new primary song, with four other Hermanas and I also gave the closing prayer.  4 out of 5 of my converts were there.  Many members from the Crossroads and Seahurst branches were there.  I LOVE THESE PEOPLE!  There were so many hugs!  So much love!

          Yesterday the Stake President spoke to our relief society about controversial issues.  One thing that he said that I love is that we can't judge the past.  The past is a foreign country.  That helped many of us feel more peace about past issues.  I am just glad that Heavenly Father gives us knowledge line upon line, precept upon precept or else things would be much more complicated. I am so thankful for the gospel and the loving people with in it!

Con Amor,

Hermana Stoddard
